چکیده

Anew species of ground cricket in the genusAllonemobius (Hebard) is described from the southwesternUnited States. Likemany singingOrthoptera, this species is morphologically cryptic andmost easily distinguished from related species by usingmolecular characters andmale calling song traits. We describe Allonemobius shalontaki as a new species and present data suggesting its reproductive isolation from congeneric species.Allonemobius shalontaki exhibits a uniquemale calling song and possesses a distinct allozyme genotype. Additionally, we present an electrophoretic key to the genus and propose phylogenetic relationships among species.
